2. Gradual Deployment Year Trans Functs # students per semester Assessment 02-03 Late (VPR) 60 (1 section) [141] [142] 141142141142 Overly optimistic; too much syntax; too much typing 03-04 Late (VPR) 170 (3 sections) [141] [142] 141142141142 More reasonable; less typing/syntax; each week like a project 04-05 Early (ABD) 1000+ (all sections) [141] [142] 141142141142 Begin to utilize M4C; labs are more “useful” 05-06 Early (ABD) 1000+ (all sections) [141] [142] 141142141142 Fewer quizzes; extensive use of M4C
